Virtualized Layouts are nice, but I find that they often feel a bit "chunky" due to the "tightness" of the virtual range. This could be improved by increasing the range - one or two steps ahead (and behind) would often be enough to improve the "responsiveness" of the list, especially when external resources (like images) need to be loaded.

As the piece of music I use on the intro page to my site has become quite lengthy, I decided to stream it rather than imbed the file. I used (AS2):
var mySound:Sound= new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("melange.mp3" , true);
mySound.onLoad = function() {
mySound.start();
}
Which worked fine, the only problem being that after a certain amount of time (which varies depending on computer, bandwidth etc.) the tune will stop and then immediately start again from the top. After this, it will play back fine every time I load the page, until I empty the cache, turn off the computer, etc.
All this leads me to believe that I have a problem to do with buffering. Im thinking that if there was a line of code to override the default buffer size, I might be home free.
I'm just finished my first month of getting to grips with flex. All of my projects so far have be very small fixed sized containers with everything in the application resting in an absolute position.The next up and coming project is going to require a more dynamic layout and need some advice.The app will consist of 3 container (not sure what ones to use yet)
Container 1Will be the entire width of the app and a quater of its height.
Container 2Will be beneath Container 1. It will be half the width of the app and 3 quaters of its height.
Container 3 will be the same as container 2.
I want to be able to collapse each container and have the other containers respond to this.For example, I would like to collapse container 1 so that container 2 and 3 go from 3 quaters height to 100% height.
If I collapse container 2 conatainer 1 remains the same but container 3 goes from half thes apps width to 100% of the width.
[Flex 4] Float left or right in layouts or containers?i have a main container, that is dynamic, 100% width, and in it there are 3 components. one should be floating to left, to right and the other will be centered. how do i do that?
View 3 RepliesI have a general Flash question. I have got 2 .SWF wrappers (Playbook and Android,that work perfectly) that takes any .SWF file and wraps it up as an application. I'm hoping to make 1 application and have it run on both the Blackberry Playbook and any Android device.Technically everything is perfect but the problem I am having is with the layout.For example if an object is placed at x= 512 y=400 then it looks great on the Playbook but that looks horrible on an Android screen thats not 1024x800px. What I want to be able to do is something like (x=DeviceWidth/2), (y= DeviceHeight/2) so that it resizes and repositions itself automatically. An example of where I need to change the code is shown belowbt1.tween("_y", 400, 0.5, "easeOutBack");
View 1 RepliesSuppose you have a view, which contains three control A, B and C. The control A and B are in a HGroup, which itself is inside a VGroup with C.
Based on user interaction, I'd like to re-arrange the controls to new layouts. For example all three inside a VGroup. Or for example a layout, which hides A and B and maximizes C in size.
While I could hand-write the code, I'd like to use something like a layout template. A template, which contains placeholders for A, B and C. Give the current view, I'd like to pass the new template and the view should rearrange.
How can I increase the _height property of a window without increase the height of the title and the bar at the top of the window ?

Live streaming and a buffer on a NetStream do not mix. Why? The docs don't say you can't do this.The playback gets hosed. Buffer is supposed to fill to what you set it to before playing. Instead though, about half the time, the player starts playing right away and disregards the buffer time you've set. Then you get caught in short buffering and rebuffering cycles that degrades the playback experience.
Give it a shot yourself. Here is the simplest of live streaming video players. No frills. Just connect it to your live stream by changing the defaultURL string and stream name in the ns.play() statement.
Run it in Flex debug mode. It will check and print the ns.bufferLength property every second. The buffer is set to 20 secs currently. Last time I ran it, I never made it above 2 seconds in the buffer. Player started playing right away instead of buffering the full 20 secs first. Sometimes you get to the full 20 and sometimes not.

I am having an issue with sockets where the data I'm sending is getting truncated on the client side (Flash/Flex). The data that is sent by my server is full and in tact, but flash does not wait the appropriate amount of time before firing an event saying to read the data. This results in the data not getting fully read and (as such) I can't parse the object out of it after that. We are exploring the possibility of stripping the object into smaller chunks, but the idea is for it to be as lightweight as possible so we would much rather get it to work the way it's supposed to than patch in a temporary solution.I'm not entirely sure if referring to it as the receive 'buffer' is correct, as some computers are able to receive all of the data and others are having it truncated (which means the buffer is adequate but flash isn't waiting the appropriate amount of time to dispatch the event for whatever the reason).

I was working on a project, copying and pasting a large amount of frames and objects when Flash CS4 would not let me save, the message was something like "cannot save due to an unknown error" so I closed it and opened again, and the following error popus came up repeatedly:
1) "The following panel layout is missing or could not be read:/Users/(my name)/Library/Application Support/Adobe Flash CS4/en/Configuration/Workspace/Animator.xml
The application will not have have a correct layout. Please load one from Windows - > Workspace."
2) " XML parsinfg fatal error: Invalid document structure lone: 1, files: Users/(my name)/Library/Application Support/Adobe Flash CS4/en/Configuration/Workspace/Animator.xml"
I looked for the file and it's actually in the folder.I've uninstalled and reinstalled Flash CS4 twice, and the entire Creative Suite once already, none of this has solved the issue.
I want to use the same movieclips (some are button movieclips) but be able to have a function lay them out at runtime in two (or more) layouts. Just the _x and _y position like in this example:I'd like to layout the mcs with just actionscript. So it can be hardwired into the movie's script with parameters A yielding layout A, et cetera.
something like this:
Code:
boxOne_mc._x = 100;
boxOne_mc._y = 100;
boxTwo_mc._x = 200;

but all wrapped up in one function.

I have a panel inside which I have a datagrid and a button. The functionality is that when I click the button, an row gets added to the data grid. I have described the pane height and width in %. But as the number of rows in the data grid increase, due to fixed panel height, a scroll bar appears in the data grid. But I want the panel height to increase dynamically as I increase the data grid rows.This is my flex code:

I'm using Flash Builder 4 Beta 2. I have it connecting to a PHP service. The way I set this up was using the wizard, so I didn't actually write the code to connect to it.[code]...
One of the functions that I'm calling fetches users from a MySQL database. There are about 30,000 users right now. The service seems to timeout when fetching more than around 22,000 rows, I get the "Channel Disconnected before an acknowledgement was received" error. If I call the PHP script from a browser, it fetches them all with no problems at all, however. I have tried increasing the timeout in the PHP script (which didn't work), but obviously this isn't the problem since the browser is able to pull them up with no problems.

I am trying to increase the height of container with increase in the number of contents inside the container.

I'm trying to figure out how to REMOVE any buffer on video. So imagine it like this. You have a live stream set up on a server, and a flash app plays that live stream. I need it to use rtsp as well.does anyone know how this is done in flash? or a way in flash to view/show live feeds?
Similar to using VLC Player, and upening up a rtsp feed, it plays in the player. I need that exactly, or very close to using flash.
i've a very strange problem with a NetStream Buffer only in Internet Explorer (flash player version 10,0,32,18). When I connect to a netstream I use this:

var nsOpe = new NetStream(nc); //nc is an active netConnection
nsOpe.bufferTime=1;
nsOpe.client=this;

I'm trying to make a preloader for the buffer for a 19MB video. I can trace everything, but the math won't do.
Preloading the video itself is no problem. But what I want is to make a xx% preloader for the buffer of this video.[code]...
I would like to show a spinning circle at the start of the video letting people know it is loading until such times as say one third of the video has loaded....then i want to play the video. Once the video starts playing i would like the spinning circle to show again while the video buffers again if the user has a slow internet connection.
View 1 RepliesI have built a video gallery. All videos are stored on a video hosting server. Throughout my timeline, I have various FLVPlayers mapped to their relevant video. The videos are generally from 45 mins to 1 hr 15 mins in length. I am finding that the video doesn't start to play until a player has been sitting there for 5-7 mins. I am assuming this has something to do with the buffer timeframes HOWEVER, when I attempt to access the same MP4's through Google Chrome, they start playing within 10 seconds.
There is no actionscript refering to the videos or onClip handlers. The video players are there and simply refer to URL of the video it should be playing.
